And it's not just theoretical. I worked on a program to try to trigger
this bug, and succeeded :-)  (I've never been so happy being able to
crash my kernel)

[  130.555521] ---[ end trace 35f17d68fc569897 ]---

Attached is the program I used. It took lots of tweaks and doesn't
always trigger the bug on the first run. It can take several runs to
trigger. Each bug I've seen has been rather random. Twice it crashed due
to memory errors, once it just screwed up the kprobes, but the system
still ran fine. I had another kprobes error bug, when when I went to do
more tracing, it crashed.

What my program does is creates two threads (well, one thread and the
main thread). They place themselves onto CPU 0 and 1. Then the following
occurs:

	CPU 0			CPU 1
	-----			-----
  create sigprocmask probe

loop:			loop:

			fd = open(events/kprobes/sigprocmask/enable)

			pthread_barrier_wait()

  nanosleep(interval)

  pthread_barrier_wait()

			write(fd, "1", 1);

			write(fd, "0", 1);

  truncate kprobe_events
  // deletes all probes

			pthread_barrier_wait();
  pthread_barrier_wait();


			write(fd, "0", 1); // just in case

  create sigprocmask probe

			pthread_barrier_wait()

  pthread_barrier_wait()

  update interval

  goto loop		goto loop



I had to tweak the interval times to see where it would most likely
cause a race. When I found where it started to conflict, I placed the
range around that time and incremented it in steps related to 7/5
(~e/2). That eventually triggered the bug.

Now with this patch, I had to modify the test to give it a negative
number to place the pause before the write. That's because the switch to
removing the events slowed down the deletion and allowed the write to
always succeed (without the delay).

Anyway, I ran this in a while loop with the patch for an hour (and still
running) and it seems to keep it from crashing.

I'll update the change log to reflect this.

Thanks!
